About

As part of the Ryevitalise Community Arts Programme, artist Sue Walsh has produced a fascinating collaborative installation, inspired by the inter-connectedness of habitats within the River Rye landscape. The project involved a series of immersive workshops engaging local people and landowners in the natural environment, through movement, sound exploration, eco-printing and creative writing.

The aim of the project is to raise the profile of our captivating river environments and the importance of inter-connecting mosaic of habitats.

The Ryevitalise Landscape Partnership is working together to conserve, enhance and restore the natural and cultural heritage of the River Rye and its tributaries, the River Seph and River Riccal, and to connect people with the history, wildlife, and landscapes of this special area. Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, North York Moors National Park Authority, and partners, Ryevitalise works to inspire local communities, volunteers, farmers, and welcome visitors from near and far to learn more about this amazing river catchment, and how we can all do our bit to look after it.’

You can view Sue's work at Ampleforth Abbey's Visitor Centre, 11th-20th December, 11am-3pm (excluding Mon/Tues). Entry is free.

The exhibition is on the ground floor with step-free entry, accessible to all.
